"Faculty Faculty of Modern Social Studies Department of Information Technology"evolves into new learning.
Enriching our lives
"Sensory information"and"information technology"。
Excitement and excitement
Scientific Studies"Sensitivity Informatics"。
Have you ever felt something like, "This song is so pleasant" or "This game is fun!"? Kansei informatics is the study of turning such subjective emotions into scientific data.
Why do we want to "like" that Instagram photo? Why do the character designs of popular anime resonate with us so much? We will unravel the secrets of these "feelings."
Kansei informatics is also a field of study that creates experiences that move us emotionally.
This is currently the most popular academic field, which explores mechanisms that appeal to people's sensibilities, such as emotionally stirring music and memorable visual expressions.

Short Video
Short videos continuously provide the "joy of discovery," "empathy," and "satisfaction of curiosity." The ease of swiping, instant gratification, and content suggestions tailored to individual sensibilities create a cycle of "expectation" and "reward," and have the appeal of maintaining a comfortable state of excitement.
